NUMBER 3

A farmer is supposed to be practic-
ally acquainted with everything con-
corning agriculture, and to know what
is best to do under all circumstances
in order to obtain remunerative crops;
but the fact is that no one farmer in
an average lifetime can try enough
experiments to know everything, and
he must embrace every opportunity to
find out and to study the recorded ex-
perlments of others.
The information regarding when
and how to break land, and when to
turn under sod or stubble, or a crop
grown for manure, has come down to
us from our ancestors, and has not
been verified by experiments. One
farmer continues to break the stubble
land in October, another always burns
off the weeds and stubble in February,
and then breaks the land for corn or
cotton, and each thinks his plan right
because his father did so. Very few
have experimental to find whether
there is not a better plan. Many OF
our ideas have been received from
Northern farmers and writer's, where
the conditions of climate are quite the
reverse of those existing in the South.
If tle blowing isl not done in the
Northern States before October it can
not be done until after the first of
May, as the land is covered with snow
or bound fast with ice.
The Northern farmer often breaks
his sod land in September, and either
sows wheat or expects the freezing
and thawing weather of October to
pulverize and to prepare the land to
receive the annual covering of snow,
and with it a supply of ammonia
which the Southern farmer must buy
in commercial fertilizers or obtain by
growing green crop for manure. In
the South the conditions are quite
different. September is hot month;
October is frequently almost as warm.
Drying winds sweep the bare fields !;
winter rains wash the cotton and corn
lands into gullies, and all the elements
seem to conspire to rob the soil of
nitrogen.
How can this great loss be pre-
vented? Cannot the farmer, to some
extent at least, cover his land with
manuring crops which will shade and
protect the land from sun, wind and
washing rain until he is ready to plant
the spring crop?
This covering, after serving the
purpose Of shading the land for sew
eral months and in that way improv-
ing the condition of the soil, will be
equal in value, when turned under, to
many wagon loads Of manure per acre,
and will 60 far towards improving
larger and more profitable crops. A.

At meeting of the Iredell County
Club on the 9th inst, Col Julian
Allen, President, gave an interesting
talk on his trip, as delegate, to At

Among other things 1t was decided to
hold wheat fair in Statesville on the
first Wednesday and Thursday in
August, 1888. and to offer the follow

AUBURN FARMERS ALLIANCE.

This alliance, at it's meeting on the
Sd inst, transacted some important
business, and among other things, de-
clded to have comfortable hall for
its meetings and connected with it a
good, commodious and comfortable
school room. The site was selected
and agreed upon and subscriptions in
the meeting, were made, amounting
to 5000. The membership at the two
last meetings was increased by the
reception of twelve new members, and
the outlook is that it will not be long
before every farmerin this community
will belong to the order.
May the good work go on until all
the farmers may see how much benefit
to himself and to his fellows he may

IN AGRICULTURE.
From a Grange Standpoint.

1.-The prosperity of the South is
without doubt confined almost exclu-
sively to the cities. The farmers con-
dition does not improve" f*F
This item from Southern paper
really gives the condition of affairs
over the whole country. AS proven
by the U. S. Census and all later sta,
tistics, the depression of agriculture
is growing greater with every passing
wear. The value of the farm and it's
crops is constantly shrinking. And
yet the country was never increasing
in wealth so rapidly as now Why
should agriculture be the only interest
that is going backward What are
the causes? What the remedy :?
These are questions that should be

FORSYTH COUNTY FARMERS CLUB.

Our county club has passed the
first mile-post. 1t was organized on
the 1lth of August, 1886, and we
look back with pleasure and satisfac-
ton to our record. 1t was the first
county club to organize in the State.
It issued an address to the farmers Of
the State through THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, which did much to arouse
them. to a sense of the situation and to
induce them to organize 1t was the
first to issue call for the great mass
convention of farmers, which assemb
led in Raleigh on the 26th of last
January, and demonstrated to polite
ians tho power of determined, organ
ganized men. The work of that con-
vention inaugurated new industrial
era in our history, and we may hope
also, that it inaugurated an era of
more self-reliant independence among
our farmers.
The organization in our county is
in a good healthy condition. Since
the work season is over there is an
awakened and quickened zeal and in
terest among the subordinate clubs.
They discuss all matters affecting
their interests and are bringing it
down to practice, and we have yet to
find single man in all the county
who expresses any regret at having

On the Sd inst the farmers of Cataw-
ba had a grand rally and among the
many good speeches delivered was one
by Rev. J. G. Clapp D. D. His sub
ject the Improvement of the farm
the all Important Object of the
Farmer His speech was full of inter
est. Among other good things he said :
"We've got to reclaim land already
cultivated and which has washed out
in red gullies. 1t can be done and
must be done Look at Pennsylvania
and Maryland What was once the
worn out land is now the garden spots
of the world Now their cribs are full
of corn, granaries full of wheat and
money in the pocket.
Our land is better by nature than
that of Maryland or Pennsylvania or
Massachusetts and can be improved at
infinitely less expense"
Speaking of our duty he said: 1--WE
are moral We call ourselves moral.
We owe it to posterity as we'll as to
ourselves to improve and take care of
it. We have no moral right to plow
up and down these hills to be washed
into gullies for those who are to follow.
We are to leave these farms to our
own posterity, and christianity de-
mands that we improve them and not
rob what God lends us to be delivered
to our descendants
